Seeking God and giving Him ALL the Glory

Seeking God and giving Him ALL the Glory
iFellowship

I have set down several times over the last few days and just haven’t known what to write about.  I have been meaning to sit down and write about my goals for our family, goals for our homeschooling and goals for my blog.  However, life has just happened and I have been doing what I am supposed to do.  Tending to my hubby and my children.  God is first in my life and then my husband and my children.  I told myself once the new year was here, that they would be my focus.

Since getting my priorities straight, two verses have come to my mind.


1 Chronicles 22:19


19 Now set your mind and heart to seek the LORD your God. Arise and build the sanctuary of the LORD God, so that the ark of the covenant of the LORD and the holy vessels of God may be brought into a house built for the name of the LORD.”


and

1 Corinthians 10:31


 31 So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

So what does these two verses mean to me?  It means that I need to seek God in everything I do and everything that I do, I need to do it for the glory of God.  I love my hubby and children.  I want them to know that I do.  While I can tell them daily that I love them, I also need to show them by blessing our home.  That means taking care.  It also means that I do ALL of it for the glory of God.  You see, God has given me everything that I have, including my hubby and my children.  I am so thankful for the loving, merciful God we have.  It is my goal daily, to live for God and God alone.  Not man.

Blessings!

2 Peter 3:14-18


 14 Therefore, beloved, since you are waiting for these, be diligent to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace. 15 And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, 16 as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures. 17 You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, take care that you are not carried away with the error of lawless people and lose your own stability. 18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

For the last several months, our Pastor has been leading us through the books of Peter.  There have been several Wednesday’s that I have shared with you some of that scripture.  We finally finished up the books this past Sunday.  I really enjoyed going through the books and seeing what Peter had to say.  While all of it is important, I am still reading these last scriptures over and over.

Some men (and women), like to be lifted up on a pedestal and will tell you anything to get the glory of it.  When you read your bible, pray before and ask God to open your eyes to what He is saying in the scripture.  You need to grow in the knowledge of the Lord and can only do that by keeping yourself in the word.

Satan would like nothing better than for you to leave your bible on the shelf, unread.  He doesn’t want you to know the scripture.  He doesn’t want you to know the answers of questions asked.  So it is that much more important for you to read your bible.

In the last several months I have been reading my bible a lot more.  I know I have enjoyed it and find that if I have my quiet time and get my bible read and prayers.  I am learning more and I am wanting to read it more!  It helped by having a great bible study and friends to keep you accountable!  I know I have been enjoying the couple of bible studies I am doing.

So find a friend or find a bible study, either online, at your church or somewhere else and join in!  I know you won’t regret it one bit when you start reading your bible daily.  The bible is your guide to life!

2 Timothy 2:15


15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

Holy Bible – Words of God

Holy Bible – Words of God
iFellowship Mustard Seeds

I love the iFellowship day. I use it as a day to share scripture that has touched my heart and soul in some way or another. The scripture may come from a sermon from our church, from a devotion I am reading or even from a blog I happened to of read in the past week.

The scriptures I want to share today came from our Associate Pastor, during his sermon on Sunday. He was talking about understanding the word of God. All you need to live is the word of God. The Bible is a road map for your life. What ever problem you have, you can find an answer for it in the bible.  The Bible was written by men who were inspired by the holy spirit of God.  Everything written in the Bible is true and accurate events that happened!

I encourage you all to take time to read the Bible.  I know I am doing my best to spend more time in the Holy Word.  If you have any questions, just ask and I will do my best to help explain something if I understand it.  If I don’t, then I will ask and find out the answer.  Nothing is more important (other than trusting in Jesus), than to read how God expects us to love and raise our family in His Holy Word.

2 Peter 1:16-21


16 For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 
17 For when he received honor and glory from God the Father, and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased,” 
18 we ourselves heard this very voice borne from heaven, for we were with him on the holy mountain. 
19 And we have something more sure, the prophetic word, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, 
20 knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation. 
21 For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

I am also linking up with Rebecca and Jennifer today for Mustard Seed Planting!
